Wow!!! I love bam bam.

He is still just as handsome and well mannered as ever!

My meat chickens sounded like "Cobb Chickens", so I googled it. I think I got the Cobb500, a commercial broiler similar to the CX.

My layers are probably common brown layers.

I could be wrong, but I found what looks like a small hatchery that sells Cobb 500 and this is their description "Cornish cross white meat pasture broiler that goes from just hatched to ready for processing in 6-8 weeks on minimal feed and pasture." As CX stands for Cornish Cross, it appears that you are getting CX. http://www.bobsbiddies.com/apps/photos/photo?photoid=203506879

the Cobb 500 is a Cx

A good one too. With broiler rations, expect a 6 lb bird in 6 weeks. You are going to have huge birds if you go to 12 weeks.

When they say minimal feed,they are not exaggerating. CX can gain weight on air and water

I've never heard of a "common brown layer"
